Co-creator Matt "The Simpsons" Groening added that"It's a true honor to announce the triumphant return of Futurama one more time before we get canceled abruptly again."
I know there's a season 3 of Hilda coming, but if this movie was the finale, I would have accepted it wholeheartedly :*)

If you're on the fence about watching Arcane, look at this
aw I'm disappointed that cowboy bebop was canceled on netflix. I guess I understand why, but honestly, I wish fans could be better at accepting that having multiple adaptations and interpretations of a story is okay, and good, and important. there are different mediums fo storytelling for a reason. a novel cannot be received or create the same feelings as a film, or a play, or manga, or animated series, or a cartoon, or a live action, or a miniseries, or a radio show. it's supposed to be different each time. it's supposed to create variation. I really wish we could creators space to be creative.
They Will Never be Another Cartoon Like... Over The Garden Wall
LOver The Garden Wall is a cartoon masterpiece and I don’t say that often. Despite being only 10 11 minute episodes long series, it sucessfully tell it story from beginning to the end. The show breaks the cartoon trope that I don’t believe that they’ll never be another cartoon that mimics the masterpiece.
Autumn
Usually, cartoons are bright, colorful, and have a hyperactive environment,
Like the The Amazing World of Gumball
The Ghost and Molly McGree
But for The Over Garden Wall, it’s quiet, not a trace of neon color, and the main colors you see are brown, red, orange, and other autumn colors.
Sometimes making you feel eerie of the world. Although there’s no sign of danger, but it doesn’t feel quite right.
It isn’t just the environment that is quiet, it’s also the music. Instead of being poppy, energetic, and being catchy, the soundtrack is folkier.
Such as Potatus Et Molassus, Prelude, Foward, Oneiro, and Come Wayard Souls
Then look at cartoon openings
Star vs The Forces of Evil,
Steven Universe,
Gravity Falls
and every other cartoon show openings, have the protagonist doing wacky things with hyperactive music playing
But for Over the Garden Wall, it’s slow and calm and doesn’t show you even you the main characters but shows what will the characters encounter in their journey with very calming music.
Unlike any cartoon that’s hyperactive, it’s more calming than the rest which is such refreshing to see especially it’s a kid cartoon.
Into the Unkown
The selling point of the show is the unknown. The protagonist of the place is set in the mysterious land without a clue of how and why they got in the first place, but their one goal is to find their way by pressing forward to the unknown. The world of the OTGW is built-in fantasy but doesn’t have witches, amphibians, and humanoid gems, but more on folktale tales such as
Pottsfield Harvest Festival.
Adelaide the “Good” Witch
The Ringing of the Bell
Making each adventure feel like it’s came right out of brothers grimm fairy tale. Each having it’s own unique story, own setting, and be unfamiliar to one another. So much wonder and mystery is what makes the show so interesting.
The Pilgrims
To make it the journey more enuring are the characters. The protagonists, Wirt and Greg, seem to be one note with Wirt being the more mature but timid and obedient, and Greg being the happy go lucky and naive kid.
However, they grow as the progress through the woods. Having them have chemistry, bond, falling out, and reconcile. Making them have a perfect dynamtic.
What I also enjoy is that theirs more depth into their character, making them more believable. In chapter 9: “Into the Unknown”, Wirt want to take a girl out to a date, but a womanizer will ask her out. Instead of going the hated dork asking the popular girl in school, it’s actually all in Wirt’s head, being paranoid.
People actually likes him, especially Sarah
and Jason Funderburker is more of a dweeb than Wirt.
It just Wirt overthinking about it, making him more a believable protagonist.
Their story of two brothers wandering into the unknown to find their way home, perfecly encapsulate to a fairy tale.
Influences and References
What makes this cartoon so different from other cartoons is its references and influence. Most cartoons will reference movies and animes
Such as Amphibia reference Jojo
The Owl House reference Dragon Ball Z
But with the Over The Garden Wall, their references are much older that not many have heard
Such as the school children are based on characters of Beatrix Potter
People were actually afraid of the nightly air for it may contain poison before the plague was explained in the 1700s.
Characters from “Babes from the Woods” are references to 1930s to 1940s cartoon characters.
While it’s a minor praise to the show, but you don’t see that a lot of cartoons making references to older cartoons.
Beware the Beast
The antagonist of the series, The Beast feels different than your standard cartoon villain. Instead of him taking over the world or bringing chaos, he plays more in deceiving to get what he wants by manipulating.
He isn’t even that powerful, but use words instead of action such as he manipulated the Woodsmen by telling him that his daughter soul is in the lantern and the only way to have her stay alive by chopping edlewood tree and grinding them to oil, which is made out of children that turns into trees.
His design is simple but very terrifying for blending in the shadows.
Reminds me a lot of the wendigo or Herne the Hunter
Then when the light shines on him, his true appearance is horrific for his body is made out of edlewood with twisted faces and holes covering his entire body.
What I truly love about it is how he was defeated. Instead of a big epic battle, good vs evil like every cartoon has done, they instead have Wirt didn’t fall for the Beast words and his threats, he even revealed his soul was actually in the lantern.
Wirt gave the lantern back to the Woodsman for he has his own business to deal with. Making the Woodsman realize that his daughter wasn’t in the lantern and blows out the lantern, ending his terror forever.
It’s clever how they’ve defeated the antagonist.
Conclusion
Over The Garden Wall is the greatest achievement in western animation history. Being only 10 episodes, but it was able to tells a very satisfying story. It didn’t need multiple seasons to tell its story, no sequels, no spinoff shows or a movie, but just a simple and short story. It is filled with childlike wonder with horrific moments, mature themes, and feel melancholy. Truly a masterpiece that can never be mimic.
Go go everybody go to watch Fantastic Fungi! It's a new documentary released on Netflix and is almost surreal how they talk about nature and their ways, not only mushrooms❤🍄

Edit:
This new episode was so emotionally beautiful, something that I’ve wanted to see for so many years for these two, and it really gave it their all in this episode! It was packed with so much emotion, tears, and brotherly love and I loved it!
Lots of love for the AT crew! This was an emotional ride and a tearful way of saying farewell to these two brothers one last time!
Nise: I’ve never had a friend.
Yuri: Well, I can be your friend!
Nise:
Nise: I haven’t had a girlfriend either.
Bean and Oona doing drugs together is the best shit I never knew I needed until just this moment.
HBO Executive: You can’t just call the special “Adventure Time: Lesbians”
AT Crew: Fine, we’ll change it
Eda's self love, that's what I want.

“Thank you for being with me, Tuba. I’m going to keep loving you like you’re still here.”
It was time for their close-up. Two days ago Jupiter and Saturn passed a tenth of a degree from each other in what is known a Great Conjunction. Although the two planets pass each other on the sky every 20 years, this was the closest pass in nearly four centuries. Taken early in day of the Great Conjunction, the featured multiple-exposure combination captures not only both giant planets in a single frame, but also Jupiter's four largest moons (left to right) Callisto, Ganymede, Io, and Europa -- and Saturn's largest moon Titan.

NASA AND SPACEX TO LAUNCH HISTORIC MISSION
🚀 A New Era of Human Spaceflight
Our Commercial Crew Program has worked with several American aerospace industry companies to facilitate the development of U.S. human spaceflight systems since 2010. The goal is to have safe, reliable and cost-effective access to and from the International Space Station and foster commercial access to other potential low-Earth orbit destinations.
We selected Boeing and SpaceX in September 2014 to transport crew to the International Space Station from the United States. These integrated spacecraft, rockets and associated systems will carry up to four astronauts on NASA missions, maintaining a space station crew of seven to maximize time dedicated to scientific research on the orbiting laboratory
We begin a new era of human spaceflight as American astronauts will once again launch on an American spacecraft and rocket from American soil to the International Space Station.
As part of our Commercial Crew Program, NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley will fly on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft for an extended stay at the space station for the Demo-2 mission. Launch is scheduled for 4:33 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, May 27.
Demo-2 will be SpaceX’s final test flight to validate its crew transportation system, including the Crew Dragon spacecraft, Falcon 9 rocket, launch pad and operations capabilities. While docked to the space station, the crew will run tests to ensure the Crew Dragon is capable of remaining connected to the station for up to 210 days on future missions.
Our Commercial Crew Program is working with the American aerospace industry as companies develop and operate a new generation of spacecraft and launch systems capable of carrying crews to low-Earth orbit and the International Space Station. Commercial transportation to and from the station will provide expanded utility, additional research time and broader opportunities for discovery on the orbiting laboratory.
The station is a critical testbed for us to understand and overcome the challenges of long-duration spaceflight. As commercial companies focus on providing human transportation services to and from low-Earth orbit, we are freed up to focus on building spacecraft and rockets for deep space missions.

“Somewhere in the scraps of memory I have left, you remind me of a boy I once knew. He is very much like you, true to his friends, and kind. This boy travels to many worlds and fights to keep the light safe. At every turn, that boy arrived with Keyblade in hand to save the day.”
“Back then, my heart was clouded with vengeance. I did terrible things…both to him and his friends. I brought unhappiness to more lives than one. While the boy slept his long sleep, I hid the results of research inside him, transplanting the data to where it might best serve a purpose. In fact, I would like to believe… Maybe he can set things right.
A boy like him who touches so many hearts– He can open the right door.. and save all those people whose lives I managed to ruin. So many are still waiting for their new beginning, their birth by sleep. Even me…and even you.”
